Quick Synopsis:
Two scientists try to understand why the ants are behaving strangely in the desert. They seem to have begun to wage war against humanity, and they are demonstrating an unsettling level of intelligence. A girl escapes the ant’s wrath and join the scientists in their research dome. Perhaps she didn’t escape at all? The ants have other plans.
The Bad:
- Not really that scary or suspenseful.
The Good:
- You’ll swear you feel ants crawling on you.
- The ants are edited in a way to make them seem almost human.
- You aren’t spoon fed the story. It’s up to you to understand it.
Final Thoughts:
An interesting and creative movie that borders on boring and bizzare. I found myself more facinated and creeped out by the thought that ants were actually toying with the humans than vice-versa.
